Monarch butterfly peaking through the leaves 🦋✨

#PhotoSky #ButterflyWatch #GardenMood #FoundLight #ShotOnPixel
A monarch butterfly rests on the underside of a leaf, its orange wings glowing as sunlight filters through the foliage. The butterfly is partially obscured by leaves, with a soft beam of light streaking down the frame. The background is lush and green with bokeh highlights and hints of purple flowers.

A dog with a brown and white coat lies flat on a tiled kitchen floor. Her head rests on the ground, facing the camera, with a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea). A native beauty that's as photogenic as it is essential.

She protec. She attac. But most important, she nap.

#CatsOfBlueSky #CatNaps #CaturdayEveryday
A calico cat naps curled up in a tan sofa, bathed in soft natural light from the side. Her white belly and pink paws are just visible. Tucked beside her is a small handmade pillow with a green crayon dinosaur drawing on white fabric — a child's artwork. The mood is peaceful and cozy.

1/ After 125 days in El Salvador’s notorious “megaprison” #CECOT, our client Edicson Quintero Chacón has been released and returned to Venezuela—alongside Jose Manuel Ramos Bastidas and 250+ others whom the U.S. paid to detain at CECOT.

This should never have happened.

Old window in my friend’s reno project. Almost feels like expired film or a Holga shot.

Family pets are being left behind at Southern California shelters as their families face deportation. At Carsom Animal Care Center, dogs like Bruce and Coco are quiet, confused, and up for adoption. Shelter staff say they've seen emotional goodbyes as families forced to leave the U.S.

Just a little guy. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Sepia toned photo of a shorthaired, white and tabby kitten sitting up. The rest of the composition is very heavily vignetted in white so it just appears that the kitten is floating in white space with just a little bit of shadow.
